With a gift in your Will to Sense International, you can bring joy, laughter, and wonder to children with deafblindness or complex disabilities. Being a Sense International supporter is a special commitment, and your gift ensures that children and families can experience the love, laughter, and joy they deserve.

Why leave Sense International a gift in your Will?

Your Will is a reflection of you and your values – a statement to the world about what kind of place you’d like it to be. We understand that for many people loved ones will come first; but with a gift to Sense International, you can bring happiness to children with deafblindness too. 

For 30 years we have ensured people with deafblindness can access education, health care and the means to earn a living, so they can live life to their full potential.  

Your gift to Sense International could go towards:

• Early screening to provide essential sight and hearing support including assistive aids such as glasses, canes, hearing aids
• Activities, toys and equipment for sensory therapy
• Expert advice and essential one-to-one support for families
• 121 educational support in the home
• Learning assistants supporting children in schools
• Training to help in getting a job and support in setting up a small business

“We received a special seat from Sense International, so Hassan can sit up at home and be part of the family. This has enabled him to make friends in the neighbourhood as they move around with the special seat. His joy is visible when interacting with other children, and this has raised some level of awareness. It makes such a big difference to him, and to me.”

Zawadi, Hassan’s mother

How to leave a gift in your Will

Making or changing a Will to include Sense International is straightforward. All you need to do is chat to a solicitor. 

As a Sense International supporter, you could use our Free Will Service for this.

Prefer to find your own solicitor? You can find one using the Law Society website, or by calling them on 020 7242 1222.

Before you go to the solicitor, it’s a good idea to think about what type of gift you’d like to leave. This can be a set amount, a share of your estate or a specific item. We’re so grateful for any gifts in Wills – a gift of any size could make a huge difference to the people we support.

You can also get in touch with Katharine Ayres, Legacy Manager, who would love to hear from you either by phone on 020 3833 0584 or by email, legacy@sense.org.uk. Although we can’t offer legal advice, we can help you understand the difference a gift in your Will can make.
